Tinkaf1 - a savvy EA would never suggest re-marketing unless they truly believed the sale is not going to be rescued. You are allowed to change your mind on something like this, especially after having time to think about it. 4 weeks will take you past the traditional busier spring period and towards the quieter holiday time. My advice would be to ask the EA to keep the ex-buyers sweet but that you need to re-market.

You need to re market now and not wait 4 weeks. The longer you wait the less you you are likely to get for your property.

Financial Savvy: Yes please

This weekend we finally finished the front room and it looks clean, open and modern. Took 6 coats of paint to make the radiator white though (who paints all the wood and radiators navy blue?!?! So glad this was the last room to do!)

Now to paint the outside, re paint the rest of the rooms inside (can do all in a day) and then give housenetwork a shout

Don't know if it is just a glitch in the system or something more, but the house two down from us in the chain for our sale that fell through is now listed as back on the market again. I wonder if our buyers dropping out of buying this house is causing problems lower down in the chain.

well weve got our first veiwing tomorrow as the first one didnt bother turning up !!!!

This chap is an investor so im guessing he going to want my house for a lot less than asking !!

if thats the case then im sorry but im going to rent it out as i cant afford to drop the price much from asking otherwise its pointless selling !

If you are not in a financially comfortable position it would be very unwise to go into the landlording business.

Ooh tell me more FATBALLZ! A friend suggested we rent out and move into rented while we pay the mortgage off (with the rent) - is this a good idea or not? Let me know if youe need more details ;D x

Because renting out your house is just that simple.

care to expand on this please??

my position is that im in the military and have been posted away from where i was based and am now 100 miles away from the family home so only get to see my wife and children for a short time over the weekend.

we are going into military married quarters at the camp i am now based which are cheap enough to be able to afford the mortgage on my current house plus the married quarter.

i have the house on the market for a reasonable price which would be great if i can sell it at.

what i meant by my original post was that if i cant get the price for it i want i wont sell it as i wont make much profit so it makes sense to rent it and wait for the market to pick up again.

its not going to cost me in extra on the mortgage as my mortgage lendor have said due to being ibn the military they wont change my rates or charge me to let my house.

what i can rent it for will easily cover the mortgage.

hope this helps
